I read so often that I often forget what books I’ve read. This helps me to search easily to check if I’ve read it, want to read it, gave up on it, or have no affiliation with a book. I use another app also but what I like about this one is the option of choosing “gave up” for a book. The other app has folders that you can create but you can’t put a book in a folder unless it’s in your read folder or want to read folder. I also like the calendar, it’s fun to look and see pictures of the books I’ve read each month spread out on the calendar. The other app has a challenge for reading a certain amount of books. I enjoyed that in the beginning but then it started stressing me out bc I would hit my goal and then bump it up. I found myself reading more than I really had time to read and wanting to get through books fast to add to my number. But if you don’t use the challenge it doesn’t tell you how many books you have read so far for that year. It also doesn’t break down the numbers in months. Since I started using this app my reading habits have become much healthier. The only thing this app doesn’t have that I wish it did is an ability to click on an authors name and see every book they have written. If I like a book I want to read more of their books and that would be an easy way to find that. I recommend this app to all my reading friends!

I love nearly everything about this app. Only had it about a week before deciding to support and subscribe for a year. The benefit of being able to visually see read/listened to books on a calendar along with tracking the actual time is something I didn’t know I was missing in my reading logs. It’s one thing to say, read in a week and another to know exact times over that week. Love the feature to add books so there’s a TBR already there so you can quickly start your next book if you have it added. That’s helping with a faster view of seeing what’s on the horizon. If could make any change, it would just be the log to say Day 1, 2 etc on actual days instead of the number of days since started. For example, start on a Mon, that’s day 1 and read again on Wed will show as day 3 instead of day 2. But that’s massively small seeing as tho most reading apps have the full span of days. But wi tho seeing the times each day, would just be a nice feature. But this has quickly become my daily go to reading tracker.

I’ve been using this app for a few months now and have been loving all the features and statistics it provides. It’s very user friendly and I like how you can organize books under different tags and collections. That being said, I really wish they would add a feature where you can reorganize books from the order they were added in. I like to sort my books by “added” except when I first downloaded the app, I inputted one of my books out of order, and since then I cannot reorganize it into the correct order. The only way to fix this would be deleting all my books, re-adding them in the correct order, and then manually typing ALL of my notes back in - because for some reason you cannot export notes in the Database file type like you can when you backup your app. Obviously this is a lot more cumbersome and unrealistic to do than adding a feature that just allows you to reorganize the order of your books. Another issue that I have is how you cannot sync the app across different devices, instead you have to export and import your data across devices if you want them to “sync.” Despite these issues, I do like this app, I just wish these features were addressed to make the app more enjoyable to use.

I really like Bookmory, I switched over from Bookly after 3 years and over 500 books. But without the subscription the app is borderline unusable and I can’t justify another subscription so I switched. I like that there’s no cap on the amount of books you can add but you can only really track time/dates read if you don’t want to pay for a subscription. Plus it dangles those fun stats in front of you that you can’t really look at unless you watch an ad or pay for the subscription. Overall, I like the UI and the ads aren’t too frequent but it’s annoying that you have to watch more to see stats that they’re already tracking. I can’t really justify the monthly/yearly payment when it’s the same as some streaming services that aren’t just tracking content, like it’s a book subscription but you have to bring your own books, it just doesn’t make sense to me. I would be willing to pay a one time fee for forever access, but I’m not going to pay that much in reoccurring yearly/monthly expenses. I will continue to use the apps free version unless some sort of one-time payment option is introduced, or I find another app with similar features that aren’t locked behind a paywall.
